Without wanting to jump to conclusions, it’s now looking like the attacks are the work of a far right terrorist or serial killer.

Remember, Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front has been enjoying a solid amount of support recently, and Nicolas Sarkozy has been speaking with a noticably nationalistic rhetoric recently, in what appears to be a bid to capture her voters (he told a crowd this month that there were “too many foreigners” in France) — we can’t help but think these attacks may be very important in next month’s elections.

Sarkozy has affectively suspended his campaign to visit the city, the Telegraph reports, and Socialist rival Francois Hollande is on his way.
